Looking for a regionless DVD player

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

It can be a regular DVD player that I plug into my TV set, or a DVD drive.

Any recommendations? I'd like to stay under $100 USD if possible.

I have some DVD's from Japan, and 1 from Spain.

I use the videolan player for that, the GUI is fugly but it is free with no strings attached.

From the FAQ:

Does VLC support DVDs from all regions?

VLC uses libdvdcss to read all DVDs, disregarding their zone. All regions are supported without any constraint. It doesn't work 100% of the time and can take a long while before it starts the DVD.


The part about not working 100% etc wasn't there last time I checked .
Still, I didn't notice any problems reading Region1 DVDs on a Region2 drive.
